   I make my boys ages 7+2 lots of comfy pants. I just fold a pair of their favorite pants in half the long way and cut 4. It takes about half an hour or so to make up a pair. You can add patch or on seam pockets.

   I made dress pants for son #1 out of a thrift store velveteen skirt. My baby likes colors so his have been on the bright and wild side. My guys like loose and baggy so that's what I make out of soft fabrics.

   *Check out the next-to-last issue of Threads for some great mail-order fabrics for Kids. I ordered the swatch book from the Canadian source and it has lots of boy's prints. Also, Pitter-Patter Patterns (also Canadian) has some fun boy's patterns and outerwear, also try Burda patterns.

   *Don't forget polar fleece. Most boys I know love polar fleece pants like sweat pants. ANd polar fleece vests. They can make them for themselves if the color is appealing ie camo.
